Power Team South Africa, incorporating SPX Bolting Systems, is displaying and demonstrating some of its hydraulic maintenance tools and new innovations at Electra Mining Africa 2014.

On display this year will be SPX Bolting Systems’ low-weight, high-strength range of hydraulic torque wrenches. The TWHC high-cycle torque wrench has been designed for a life cycle two to three times longer than existing technology provides. It is made of corrosion resistant material and has a compact nose radius. The TWLC low-clearance torque wrench was designed for the most inaccessible bolting areas. Some advantages include a compact frame size, built-in reaction pad, fine tooth pawl and floating piston design. The TWSD series square drive torque wrenches are designed with low weight, high strength and superior torsional strength, fast operation cycle, a push button reversal of square drive and a 360° reaction arm, among several other applications.

One of the new products on display is the company’s Posi-Lock pullers. Available in hydraulic and mechanical versions, these pullers are designed for tough maintenance challenges and are used to pull a variety of press fit parts from gears to wheels or pulleys to bearings with minimum effort. Other new products on display are the range of flange spreaders, including the SPX FLS 15 hydraulic spreader, which uses the integrated wedge concept to open flanges and the ENS hydraulic nut splitter series for removing corroded and seized nuts.

Additional Power Team offerings from SPX Bolting Systems on display at Electra Mining Africa 2014 include the compact and lightweight SPX PE39 pump, which is ideal for wind tower maintenance teams and for checking bolt torque reliability; the SPX PE45 continuous pressure hydraulic pump; the light-weight 1 500 Bar SPX PE8 ultra-high-pressure electric pump; the SPX P19L and P59L hand pump and the SPX WD/WS range of wind tower ten- sioners that reduce fatigue and improve productivity, while increasing safety.

All SPX Bolting Systems’ products are designed and developed using the latest computer-aided technology, which ensures its products remain at the forefront of product development.
